Hi Yvon. I was on MTX for many years by tablets and three years on injections. Don't forget to take the folic acid, keep a close eye on the liver and don't consume any alcohol at all are the best advice that I can give you.
It does lower your immune system but I found that the area that causes the most problems is the stomach , I was convinced that it was the MTX itself that caused my stomach upset however I found that when I went on to the injections I still got stomach upsets at times if I ate anything that could be even slightly off then it started.
MTX worked quite well for me both on the P and PsA but some people have had problems with it. Best of luck with it and if there is anything else you need to know just ask.
